Catherine did not understand Shaun’s intention to keep this a secret from her. Was it to prevent her from stealing his wealth? Was he planning to let Rebecca design his house?

She could accept the first possibility but not the second.

He knew that the Jones family had almost taken her life, as well as her endless grudges against Rebecca.

“It’s fine if you did. I won’t force you to hire me as your designer,” she said half-jokingly.

“I already said no.” His reply was straightforward.

She clasped her fingers around the cutleries and changed the topic of conversation. “Well, then… Do you have any events coming up lately? Perhaps you’ll need a female companion…”

“Nope.” People in Melbourne were too lowly for him. They were not worth his presence.

“Um… Alright, but I do, though.”

He placed the cutleries on the table and looked her straight in the eyes. “What is it you’re trying to say?”

“My grandma will turn 80 at the end of the month. The birthday party is being celebrated alon

    “Where to?” Shaun’s gaze was filled with annoyance. “Are you going out drinking or to the Jones family? Or are you going on a date with your senior? Don’t forget you still have to walk Fudge to facilitate her digestion.”“...”Catherine lost the courage to speak the truth.“I’m going shopping with Freya. The weather is turning chilly and I need new clothes.”He sized her up and down before commenting, “Hmm, you do need some warmer clothes. Stop wearing so few clothes in front of me all day.”“...”She was speechless.Well, she would not be wearing thin loungewear when it was almost winter if not to seduce him. Besides, he was the one enjoying the feast of eye from this anyway.“Alright, I need some new clothes too, so get me a few as well. Just use the card I gave you last time,” he said lazily.She was at a loss for words. In actuality, she was planning to enjoy supper with Freya.Ever since getting married to him, she had not eaten delicious barbeque. Moreover, it was now t

    “He might kick me out of the bed at once.”“You can make him helpless drunk. Men lose their self-control once they’re drunk. Things will become even better if you’re pregnant with his child. Your position as the queen of the household will be secured without you having to keep fighting. Oh right, you must plan this around the days after your menstruation as you’ll be at your most fertile then.”Catherine’s mind was tangled with a whole lot of different thoughts. She was already planning to conceive before going into a relationship.“But he doesn’t love me. A family like that isn’t the best environment for the child…”“You must’ve prepared yourself for this when you decided to marry him spontaneously,” Freya cut her off, “Besides, you want to seek revenge, don’t you? This is the best way to integrate into the Lowe family and create trouble for them using your position as Shaun Hill’s wife. Imagine how satisfying that would be! And they can’t insult you back because you’ll be ranked

    Janet ridiculed, “Cindy, it’s a good thing that you’ve stopped hanging out with them. Friends like that will only bring you down.”“Exactly, she has to borrow money from friends to buy clothes.”Catherine, who was normally incredibly tolerable, could not give in to the mocking anymore. “I can definitely afford this. It’s just a basic limited edition.”She pulled out the card given by Shaun and handed it over to the salesperson. “Didn’t you say you have two sets of that? I want them both. I’ll not allow anyone else to wear the same clothes as my man.”This took the salesperson by surprise, but who would turn down money? “Sure, two sets of this will come to the total of one million dollars.”“...”Catherine felt her legs going weak. She felt like slapping herself hard across the face for saying stupid things like that.Oh no, what if it exceeded the card limit?She stole a glance at Janet and Cindy’s look of disbelief before forcing herself to hand over the card. ‘Let there be

    Catherine ate the much anticipated spicy crabs with Freya until ten at night. Then, she headed home while feeling scared.Afraid that she would disturb the man inside the house, she did not dare to switch on the lights. “You came back early.”Shaun’s tall and stalwart figure suddenly appeared at the door of the bedroom, and there was a definite edge in his voice.Catherine got a shock and felt very guilty.She wondered if he had spent a long time waiting for her to return home in order to ask about the one million dollars.“When it comes to shopping, women tend to forget the time.”Shaun switched on the lights in the living room, then glanced at Catherine for two seconds. He walked toward her and extended his hand.“What do you want?”Holding her breath, Catherine did not move at all. His body cast a shadow on her under the light, and the situation somehow seemed dull. However, after his burning index finger touched her lips, the atmosphere became romantic instead.Well, wha

    “I’m worried that you’d find it costly because… I noticed that the clothes you usually wear don’t seem costly. Hehe. Actually, there’s nothing wrong with it. I understand that you’re being frugal and low-profile, and that’s what I like about you.”She forced a smile in embarrassment for fear that it would hurt his pride as a man.Shaun was stunned. It then dawned on him that the clothes he normally wore were too cheap for Catherine.His gaze became strange at that moment. “Is this how superficial the elites usually are?” Little did they know a thing called ‘customized brand’.In fact, all his clothes were unique.Catherine was dazed.“It’s okay. You’ll understand it later.” Shaun touched her head sympathetically, then entered the room.Complete bewilderment swept over Catherine. Anyway, why did he pinch her cheeks and touch her head? With this kind of behavior, they looked like a couple which made the situation appear embarrassing.…The next day, Shaun wore the brown single

    Could Catherine get drunk before Shaun did?Amid her distress, Shaun gave her a call. “Where are you?”“In the office.”“Send me your address. I’ll pick you up downstairs in 20 minutes. You’ll accompany me to a birthday banquet.”Here came the opportunity.Catherine’s eyes sparkled, but she was subsequently filled with dissatisfaction. “You didn’t want to attend my grandma’s birthday banquet, so why should I accompany you this time?”“If you’re not willing to come with me, that’s fine. I’ll look for someone else…”Just as Shaun was about to hang up, Catherine gave in and saved the situation. “I’m coming, I’m coming. In the love arena, it’s always the person who falls in love first who loses. I’m doomed to completely lose my heart to you. How brilliant you are.”With that, she took the thermos flask and sipped on her coffee. Even she was impressed by her own flirting skills.A few seconds later, Shaun’s voice came from the other end. “My phone is connected to the car via Blueto

    Just as Catherine was distressed regarding how she should deal with the situation, a shadow was cast on her all of a sudden.She looked up and caught sight of a familiar man’s features. She was so frightened that she took two steps backward and lost her balance in her high heels. Seeing that she was about to fall, Shaun stretched out his hand to hold her waist and bring her into his arms so that she was able to keep her footing.If this had happened on any other day, Catherine would have only been slightly nervous. However, she had been picturing Shaun shirtless just a moment ago. Now that the tip of her nose was right next to his chest, her pretty face suddenly turned as red as a beet.“Am I that scary?” Shaun raised his eyebrow“No, I was just spacing out earlier.” She quickly moved backward and kept a distance from him.“Get into the car.”Shaun opened the door and sat in the driver’s seat.Catherine realized that someone was in the passenger seat, so she reluctantly went t

    Shaun flew into a temper whenever he recalled Catherine staring at a shirtless man. How shameless she was! Chase argued, “To put it another way, it can be considered as a learning resource sometimes. Perhaps Sister-in-law is learning it for your sake.”Catherine nodded deep down, agreeing with Chase’s statement.Shaun spoke in a somber tone, “There’s no need for that. She won’t get to put it to good use.”Even if that happened, he would be the one in control.However, that was not what Catherine thought. Assuming that he was not at all attracted to her in that way, she lowered her head in despair.Chase glanced at her sympathetically. He then sighed after seeing how unromantic Shaun was....After half an hour, the car stopped.Catherine raised her head, only to find that she had arrived at Miracle, a studio that provided personalized styles.Although she had never been here, she heard that Miracle was the most well-known makeup studio in Melbourne. Shaun turned around and

    Behind the banana tree, Charity drew the leaves and walked out.She wore a discreet smile. “I didn’t expect Young Master Jewell to be so well-liked by girls. Girls these days are really bold and proactive. I’m old.”Looking at Charity’s pretty face, Chester could not help but smirk. “If you’re considered old, I’m even older.”“For men, the older, the more charming,” Charity said.“Really?” Chester suddenly grabbed hold of her hand and pulled it. “Do you think I’m charming?”Charity made a point to size him up. A moment later, a look of disdain washed over her face. “Not in the slightest.”Chester was exasperated. “Even if I’m not, I won’t allow you to escape my clutches.”As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward domineeringly and locked lips with Charity.Ever since she quit the entertainment industry, she hardly wore lipstick. He was not sure of the brand of the lipstick she applied today, but it was soft and smelled good.“Go away. You may kiss your girl…”Charity

    A grand wedding was held at the seaside.The two couples exchanged vows, kissed, and promised to be lifelong companions. It was the happiest moment of their lives.When Charity brought the ring to Catherine, Catherine asked in a low voice, “Do you want me to toss the bouquet to you?” “No.”Charity rejected outright.However, Catherine did not force her. After all, she could tell that Charity was not as eager as Freya to have a wedding.Frankly, Catherine found it tiring to prepare for the wedding.“Alright. Although you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean he feels the same.” Catherine darted a playful glance at Chester.He was outstandingly handsome among the groomsmen.Some attendees of the wedding were under the impression that Chester and Charity were a couple, while some others were unsure. There were even a few pretty foreign girls who took the initiative to flirt with Chester, whereas some girls took out their phones to take photos of him. Charity took a glimpse of Chester

    Charity was speechless.It was true that Chester could not do it with her.Was that why her good friends could look so calm even after hearing that she had spent a night with Chester?“What gives? Could he have done it with you?” As soon as Freya noticed that Charity was quiet, she asked with interest and curiosity.“You’re overthinking it.”Catherine said with a discreet smile, “Even if there’s something wrong with that part of his, he could’ve done it if he wanted to.”“Wow. Sure enough, you know everything, Cathy.” Freya chuckled. “Charity, you can get Cathy to teach you one day.”However, Catherine still felt a little embarrassed, and her face flushed red. “Shaun used to have a mental block in that aspect too, but he would still make me happy. If Shaun knows that, I believe Chester knows better.” After all, no one could beat Chester when it came to his experience with women.Charity was silent for a while before she said, “It doesn’t matter to me. I’ll let nature take its

    “You haven’t answered my question.” Charity asked in annoyance, “Why were you in a hurry to get away from me?” A miserable look washed over Chester’s face. “If I hadn’t done that, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to get hold of myself.”Charity looked down at the lower part of Chester’s body. “Is it because… you can’t control it anymore?”Her directness caused Chester’s face to turn grim. “Charity, do you mean that I have no sexual urges? There were homosexual eunuchs in the past. Although that part of mine can’t function, I can still feel the necessary sensations. When I see your sexy side, I still have the urge to hug and kiss you.”Once Charity understood the situation, she felt slightly more relaxed.After all, she was a woman and was under the impression that she had lost her charm in front of Chester.“Charity, next time, can I…” Chester suddenly bit his tongue and stared at her. “Kiss you?”Charity’s pretty face instantly heated up.When had she stopped him from kis

    Charity never knew that the three of them could sleep so soundly. When she sent Cal to sleep sometimes, he would always wake her up several times in the night. Moreover, she would worry that he would kick off his blanket, so she would hardly sleep well.However, with Chester around, she subconsciously felt more relaxed as she did not need to care about everything on her own.Just as the dawn broke the next day, she was woken up by a kiss. “Charity, it’s about time to wake up. You’re going to be a bridesmaid today. You need to wake up early.”While waking her up, Chester kissed her for his own advantage.Charity opened her eyes in a daze. She still felt so sleepy that she did not want to move.“Are you planning to lie in?”As it was rare to see Charity so lazy, Chester secretly laughed. “Let me help you get changed.”By the time he staggered to her wardrobe and took out the bridesmaid’s outfit, Charity had woken up with a startle. “Why are you moving around? You should lie do

    Charity was in the bathtub until she felt sleepy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, she heard Chester’s deep, gentle voice. “Charity, wake up…”She opened her eyes to see Chester’s face close up. Charity was exhausted. She woke up groggily, and her brain felt like it was not working. She rubbed her eyes. “How did I fall asleep?”Her hand felt slightly wet, and only then did she realize she was lying in the bathtub naked. Her body’s curves were vaguely visible under the red rose petals. Meanwhile, Chester was standing beside the bathtub with a fresh towel in his hand. That scene suddenly hit Charity like lightning, and the grogginess she was feeling immediately disappeared.She wanted to hide, but there was nowhere to hide in the bathtub. Her face blushed in an instant. “Who allowed you to enter without knocking? Get out.”“I called you, but you didn’t hear me.”Chester lied without flinching. “I came in because I was worried something happened to you. You’ve been in

    “I should be the one asking you why you’re in my room,” Chester asked Charity as he raised his beautiful brows and smiled like a sly fox.“...”Charity glared at him. After exchanging glances with him for a few seconds, she carried her son and walked away.When she held the door handle, she felt a force grabbing her from behind.Chester stopped in his tracks and wrapped his hands around her slim waist. “Are you afraid that I’ll eat you up?”“You think you can do that, huh?” Charity turned around and glimpsed at the lower part of his body. “Can you do it now?”Chester’s handsome face stiffened, and a look of dejection washed over it.All of a sudden, Charity felt that she had gone too far by adding insult to injury.For a man, that was his greatest pride.“Since you know I can’t do that, what are you afraid of?” Chester gripped her waist. “Charity, stay here. All other rooms are occupied. If you don’t stay here, you have nowhere else to go.”Charity stomped on his foot. “Did y

    “Suspect that the child is yours?” Shaun continued all of a sudden.Chester nodded.The more the child resembled him, the more afraid Chester was.He would rather the child bore a greater resemblance to Charity.Shaun glanced at Chester, who looked uneasy, and could not help but laugh. “As I said, onlookers see most of the game, and that saying is very true. Even Chase could tell that the child is yours at first glance. Do you think a clever person like Charity hasn’t noticed it?”Chester was momentarily stunned, and a thought flashed across his mind. He was a little perplexed, but he dared not give it a thought. “Do you mean…”“Perhaps she has found out about it long ago, but she just hasn’t exposed it.” Shaun said indifferently, “I even suspect my wife knows. Considering how smart she is, how could she not have guessed that Charity had used your sperm to get pregnant?”Chester revealed a strange expression, but he was holding on to some hope. “Maybe she didn’t guess it. They m

    Catherine, Freya, and Charity were sitting together and chatting. When Chase went over, Catherine immediately asked protectively, “What’s wrong?” “Your husband is bullying me.” Chase hid behind Catherine and glanced at Shaun, who was walking over with a dark expression. “Move your paw off my wife,” Shaun warned with gritted teeth. If it were not for Catherine’s presence, he would have thrown Chase off the plane. “What are you doing?”Catherine glared at her husband. “Chase and I are friends. We’re besties. What’s with your attitude?”“That’s right.” Chase straightened his back with Catherine’s support. “I simply said you got lucky to be able to be a dad despite being so sc*mmy at first. Cathy even brought a set of twins back to you. I’m so much better than you guys, yet I still don’t have a girlfriend. Did I say something wrong? How unfair is this?”“Is he angry because of that?” Freya asked sarcastically. Chase nodded repeatedly. “Was I wrong?” Catherine threw the bag o
